Valuable resourceThis is an awesome resource for transition words. They are sorted by use. This wheel could be a part of many activities in the classroom from centers or reference, or whole classroom use.
It is made out of a light cardboard/heavy paper material.

The words they needI teach English Language Learners. This is exactly the right tool for those intermediate to advanced learners who need to make their writing more sophisticated, and who have seen these words in use before, but don't quite have them fixed in their mind where they can retrieve them easily. My students ask to use these during writing all the time. They're great! If there were another version with different graphics, I'd buy it -- some of my older students think these look a little babyish, even though the vocabulary is anything but.

Excellent productThis transition word wheel is a fantastic. It's easy for students to use and helps them to see there are other words than, also and more. It makes written expression activities go easy for second language learner, too.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the animal graphics on the front are somewhat "lame" or childish to quote my students.
However, I would recommend this writing tool for all ages, still.

Emphasize a point: by all means, with attention to, more importantly, with this in mind, for this reason, significantly, in particular, even more, to repeat, to point out, to be sure, again, truly, in fact.
Conclude or Summarize: as can be seen, as shown above, generally speaking, in the long run, for the most part, in summary, altogether, in any event, in conclusion, therefore, because, as a result, overall, finally.
Compare and Contrast: even though, otherwise, either/or, likewise, however, regardless, then again, in contrast, above all, although, similarly, also, but, still.
Add Information: furthermore, in the first place, for example, considering, in addition, besides, moreover, of course, another, along with, as well, other, again, too.
Clarify: to put it another way, in this case, to demonstrate, in other words, this can be seen, in order to, in the hope that, as a result, for instance, up to a point, to clarify, I mean, in short, that is.
